In the first class of the new semester, we will look at musicians who pushed limits on stage. From Iggy Pop to GG Allin, punks took live performances in directions never seen before, but often imitated since. We will also screen the 2011 documentary Last Fast Ride: The Life, Love and Death of a Punk Goddess, on the Insaints’ frontwoman Marian Anderson.

Following the film, we will discuss the various factors that drive people to jump on stage and charge through the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable.

Documentary starts promptly at 7PM (since it’s being taken off YouTube at 8PM)
